 has ever been fled We refer C the

 for the first time sinoe December let, 1884, resumed the production of ofcoppes,

 our territory, with the remnants of . large fortune, and aided by the good will and Wishes of such men e J. w. Mackay, J G Fair, J. V. Coleman and

 ing the resources of Central Arizona. NotWithstanding the fact that Gov Tritle, as ve arc informed, never real ised one dollar from his mining invest

 his own iortuue, and that of his friends, who stood by him, towing to the want of facilities which he anticipated would

 Arizona, his adopted territory. He never hssitated to expend large sums of money, in securing to Arisona incFeas- cd facilities by railroads, water canals and reservoirs; in well organized po-
 hce government To-day, the fnr- naces of the United Verde Copper mines, under his lease, after having been idle, are again producing largely copper, silver and gold bullion. and it t safe to gay that, never again within tho recall of the citizens of the territory
 will the hum of industry be hushed in the camp of Jerome-A tributary to Prescott,-and we, together with the citizens of Prescott, thank F. A. Tritle, alone.
 We also observed upon the streets this afternoon . number of teams being
 loaded with supplies to go to Cherry creek to the mines of General Wm. T. Withers, of Lexington, Kentucky, which for four years and over tho gen. eral has heeu developing, which by con- tract dAssd July 18th, we find have been placed in the hands of Governor Tritle to develop and work till January, with privilege of purchase as private prices.
